ished with fraternal sentiment and patriotic
endeayor, and by his unerring guidance we
have been directed in the way of ma
tional prosperity. To the end that we may,

all these blessings, /, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
twenty-fourth day of November next, as

that day let all secular work and employ
ment be suspended, and let our people
assemble in their accustomed places of wor-
ship, and with prayer and songs of praise
give thanks to our Heavenly Father
for all that He has done for us. while we
humbly implore the forgiveness of our sins
and the continuance of his mercy. Let
families and kindred be reunited on that
day; and let their hearts be filled with
kindly cheer, and affectionate "reminiscences
be turned in thankfulness to the source of
all their pleasures and to the giyer of all
that makes the day glad and joyous. And
in the midst of our people and our happi-
ness, let us remember the poor, needy and
unfortunate, and by our gifts of charity and
ready benevolence let rs increase the num-
Der Of thoss who, with grateful hearts,
shall Join in our thanksgiving.

A Building Presented to the New Yorh
College of Physicians aud Surgeons.

On the western half Of the block
bounded BY Ninth and Tenth avenues
Fifty-ninih and Sixtieth streets, New
York city, nov stands the finest medical
college building the world, and the old
College OF Physicians and Surgeons, after
some eighty years Of existence and occu-
pying six different locations, is fixed at
last. thanks to the liberality of the late
William Ii. Vanderbilt and the added
donations of his children. He donated
S5oo,o1t fs the college building proper;
his daughter, Mrs. William ID. Sloane,
and her husband have built the Maternity
hospital and made all It's beds free in per
petuity, while the young NSnderbilts,
brothers, have built the Vanderbilt Clint
as a memorial TO their father. All these
stand upon the western half Of the square,
while the eastern half is occupied by the
Church Of the Paulist Fathers and the
educational institutions connected there
with. On the 29th OF September the
main building was thrown open To the
alumni Of the old college, nearly 800 be
ing present, with appropriate addresses by
Mayor Hewitt and others; and in the
evening there was a grand banquet by
alumni and invited guests. The college IS
now formally located in its new building,
and was opened 10 students Oct. B.
1t is the unanimous opinion OF travelled
physicians that no medical college in the
world eXcels il in structure or complete
ness Of furnishing, and very few equal il.
The main entrance is on %Fifty-ninth
street and the structure is an imposing
one of brick; the southern wing is 143X43
feet. the northern 96Xi3 feet and the mid

How very rarely We hear OF a new

tleman made recently. 1T is always the

tinue to succeed. Why, look at the next

There has been considerable dispute
among yachtsmen as tothe relative merits
Of the Thistle and Volunteer before the
wind. So far as windward work is con
cerncd every one. Of course, admits the
superiority of the Volunteer; but in the
TWO races Tor the Americas cup IL was
difficult 90 compare the sailing Of the two
YACHT, before the wind. The first half of
tAc coar-r W4- q beat 10 windward, and
inc Volunteer gor 81 far ahead of the
Thistle When the stake boat was turned
thar the sailing conditions of the two
boats were entirely different. For in
stance. in the second race the Volunteer
rounded the stake boat seventeen minutes
ahead of the Thistle. but at the finish she
was bur twelve minutes ahead. II would
thus appear that 0n the return the Thistle
gained hvc minutes on the Volunteer, but
Capt. Han declares that as a matter or
TACT the distance between the Two
boats at the finish was Just as great as az
the turning point. The difference ia time.
he says. was due entirely to the increase
in the wind The wind, which was blow
ing 1--WE or six miles faster az the finish
than 10 was AT the turning point. OF course,
enabled the Thistle 10 cover the distance
quicker than II the wind had not freshened
Another reason. he says, is that the
Thistle had the benefit OF the increasing
velocity OF the wind, she being two miles
astern and of course felt il first.
Mr.. Burgess. when he heard what
Capt Half said, thought there might be
some truth in il. but he was not prepared
to state positively that he considered the
Volunteer the faster boat before the wind.
Everybody is hoping now that there will
be a race between the Thistle and either
the Mayiower. Puritan, Atlantic or
Priscilla.
The excited crowds that gathered in
front OF the bulletin boards in New York,
as illustrated in the cut that accom-
panies tais article, showed that the in

question that il viii be. The name
Of the man who proposes to try and
wrest the Americas cup away from
America d, Mr. Charles Sweet, a young
marine lawyer, OF New York and London.
He is a Scotchman, born at Ayr. and is a
thorough yachtsman. lie is a member Of
the New York Yacht club, but IN view Of
the challenge he viii present he has re
signed his membership. II is not neces-
sary for him 10 do this. but he thinks that
under the circumstance 10 viii be the
proper thing for him TO do. He is Also "A
member Of the Royal Clyde Yacht club
and the Royal Thames Yacht club. The
challenge will probably come through the
latter club.
II is understood that the designer Of the
new boat which Mr. Sweet is to have
built Will be- Mr. g. J.. Watson, who de
signed the Thistle. Mr. sweet said i'm a
recent interview that he thought the
Thistle could bc improved on in many
ways. lle is i'm some doubt as 10 whether
the new boat will be- OF steel or wood, as
there are advantages about each material
not possessed Boy the other. She will. Of
course. be "a keel boat. a,d will probably
be Of the second class. 10 rank with the

There has also been some talk about a
challenge from Mr. William Muir. of
Dumbarton. Scotland. the owner OF the
Mable. It is NOT improbable that he also
will challenge for the cup. but Mr.. Sweets
boat will probably have the preference,
but it may happen that The two boats will
race against each other for the honor OF
